Chapter 857
Coming back to reality, Anya smiled awkwardly. “Oh, nothing. I was just trying very hard to recall what happened
back then.”
Corinne smiled, “Oh, okay. Then did you happen to remember what color of clothing Jeremy was wearing?”
The question stumped Anya. ‘I might get exposed if I can’t even answer a question as simple as this… Jeremy rarely
wears bright colors, so the answer is either black or white… Umm… I’ll just pick a color, then!’
“Umm… He was wearing black…”

Anya’s face tensed up again. She really had no idea where. “Umm… It was his arm.”
“Left or right arm?” Corinne hit her with another question.
‘How the hell should I know?’ Anya pretended to look perplexed. “Corinne, the way you’re asking me for all these
little details makes it seem like I’m being interrogated here.”
Corinne smiled. “Well, can’t blame a girl for being curious, can you? Don’t tell me you can’t even remember such
an important little detail like this, Miss Anya. I mean, it’s not every day you suck out snake venom from other

Anya frowned. “I’ve already told you… It happened so long ago, so my memory is a little bit unclear.”
Corinne smirked. “Then do you remember doing anything else after sucking out the venom from Jeremy’s arm?”
Anya frowned unhappily. “What else did I do? Corinne, I was just a kid then, so what else could I do?”
Corinne furrowed her brow for a second. “You didn’t bring him any food? That’s weird… He could’ve died of hunger
even if the venom didn’t get to him first.”

“Umm… Of course, I brought him some food.”
“Oh? What food did you bring him?”
Anya did not dare to simply come up with an answer since there was a high chance Jeremy might find the holes in
her lies.
“I brought him whatever my family was having that day…I made sure to keep some and snuck it out for him…”

Anya could not avoid the question. “Such as…cookies, bread, ham… Umm, I don’t quite remember, but I brought
whatever was convenient.”

All it took was one look, and she swore to herself she would marry no one else but him.
However, all that would not help her in answering the question of what color of clothing Jeremy was wearing on the
day she supposedly saved him.
A waving hand suddenly shook her out of her trance. Next came Corinne’s face.
“Hey! Earth to Miss Anya. What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you answering my question?”
